Design of voice synthesizer using the latest technologies-neural impulse sensing and artificial intelligence.Neural sensor fixed over head.Fuzzy Logic used for generating particular solution. The “Artificial voice synthesizer” comfort the mute person in overcoming their disability by communicating like a normal person.
3. Introduction
In India around 70 million people are not able to speak.
This device will help them communicate efficiently.
It uses the concepts of Neural impulse sensing and
Artificial Intelligence.

6. Extraction of
Brain Impulses
▪ Every actions have specific brain impulses
▪ The neurons in brain produce electrical signals that form
brain waves.
▪ Brain waves categorized according to their frequencies.
▪ EEG method is used to extract brain waves.

9. EEG Sensor
▪ EEG stands for electroencephalogram.
▪ It is used to detect electrical activity in the brain.
▪ It filters the noise and separate different brainwaves.
▪ It is combined with the electrodes.

15. Fuzzy Logic
▪ Fuzzy – “not clear, distinct, or precise; blurred”
▪ In which truth values of variables can be real no.
between 0 & 1.
▪ It is basically used for decision making.
▪ It resembles human reasoning.

17. Fuzzy Logic
▪ Value can be in a scale between 0 & 1.
▪ Representing the real situation by giving it a value.

18. Fuzzy Logic
Example:
• Sam is 28, 0.8 in set “YOUNG”
• Nick is 35, 0.1 in set “YOUNG”
• Ann is 23, 1.0 in set “YOUNG”
Unlike statics & probability, degree doesn’t specify
probabilities but instead describes to what extent it is in
the set.

19. Fuzzy Logic
▪ Impulses are transformed using transformation function.
▪ Transformation functions- Discrete Fourier transform.
▪ Solutions are mapped with their respective words
▪ They are stored in database.
